A Gay and Bigamous Skeleton.

A Gay and BigamOuS Skeleton.

There was a skeleton in the family
closet of Isacc w. Sprague. the famous
living skeleton OF the museums, who
died recently. Hewas financially pros.

ed between $40 and 500 a week for
many years during which he was an
exhibit, and, as he spent money slow.
ly, he leaves an estate estimated at
fully 100000. From that fact arises
the scandal. With him at the
time OF his death was q woman who
passed as his wife, and who claims the
fortune as such. She says that she
was regularly married to the atrophied
human curiosity TWO years ago in
Cleveland. and that thereafter she
was his devoted companion and nurse.
She had been q minor actress in dime
museums and was good-looking girl
of twenty. She declares that she did
not know OF Sprague having q prior
wife, and that he represented in his
courtship that he was bachelor.
But an undoubted first wife now
comes forward. She shows @ mar
riace certificate to prove that she was
married to the gay skeleton in 1868
at Rockland, Mass, where she bore him
three children He deserted her four
years ago and she does not know of his
having obtained q divorce. The monev

Inf1ammable Breath.
Swiss Cross for January.

SWISS Gross Tor January.
There is a brief reference in q recent
number of Science to q remarkable
case in which the breath Of an individ-
ual, or rather the eructations from
his stomach, took fire when brought
in contact with lighted match. This
case, which was reported in the Med
ical Record, has called forth commu-
nications from physicians by which it
would appear shat the phenomenon
is not such q rare one as was at first
supposed. In one case OF disordered
digestion the patient emitted infam-
mable gas from the mouth, which, up
on analysis, was found to be largely
composed of marsh gas. In another
case the gas was sulphuretted hydro
gen. A case is reported in the British
Medical Journal. in which, while blow
ing out a match, the patients breath
caught fire with q noise like the re-
port OF a pistol, which was loud
enough to awaken his wife. One ey-
ening, while confirmed dyspeptic
was lighting his pipe, an eructation of
gas from his stomach occurred, and
the ignlted gas burned his moustache
and lips.

The man walks quickly across the

half of the window.
"Ilet me see you while there is light"
he cries. II never thought to

"You will hardly recognize it the

Come, Ruth dearest, forgive the past.
He pours forth this torrent of words
with feverish haste. There is q gleam
in the sunken eyes that reminds the
nun more of the past than anything
else has done. But somehow she is
beginning to feel, since seeing the low
er of her youth, that she has outlived
it all.
And SO she makes answer quite
gently:

not 60 with you. My life is ended"
"You have ceased to care for me"
the man cried feeling that it is so.
II think so," she says. simply; then
adds even more gently, II hope So;
twenty years ought to have cured
me-"
Then in the dark she stretches one
white hand through the iron grating.
"Good-by for the last time" she
says, and lays it for all instant on his
bowed head.
He hears the door close softly be-
hind her. Save for the ringing of the
Angelus the room is very still. In the
darkness and stiffness he staggers forth
into the fresh evening air like one who
has had blow.
